Today’s piece of information you might find either totally useless or possibly oh, that’s interesting!
We use Google Analytics to get a quantitative feeling for just how much this website is used. The following figures relate to the past month (ie, the period 31 Aug - 30 Sep 2012):
Number of unique visitors: 5779
Number of visits: 15014 (typically 500 per day, with no day less than 390)
Average number of webpages viewed per visit: 6.6
Average visit duration: 4mins 33secs76% of those using the website had also visited the site in the month preceding their visit.
The highest number of users that we have seen using the site at any one instant is 14. Peak usage normally seems to occur on a Sunday evening and, equally unsurprisingly, Saturday normally sees the lowest usage during the course of any one week.
While these figures almost certainly pale into insignificance in comparison with usage of commerical websites, they make us feel that the effort of keeping Dove and the pNBR updated is worthwhile when considering the size of our community of interest.
(Thanks go to Sid for setting up the reporting overview.)
